In June 2013, Cincinnati police arrested Jones outside a downtown bar after Shannon Wesley claimed the 33-year-old cornerback for the Bengals punched her.

Wesley testified in court, saying, "It was shock ... I had never been punched like that before."

The punch came after Wesley poured beer on Jones. She said in court she did so in an effort to get Jones to leave her and her friends alone.

But when the judge watched surveillance video of the incident, he decided Jones was not guilty because Wesley had been pointing the beer bottle toward Jones' face moments before he moved his arm toward her.

Other cases have not gone Jones' way. In September 2013, an Ohio State Highway Patrol trooper cited Jones for disorderly conduct during a traffic stop.

In 2011, Cincinnati police say an intoxicated Jones was verbally and physically abusive to officers and patrons while leaving a bar. Jones pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct in that case.

Perhaps the most damaging criminal case involving Jones happened early in his playing career.

In 2007, police in Las Vegas implicated Jones in a shooting at a nightclub, which left two people hurt.
